run mode will be initiated. If the deceleration isnot su"Pcient, also apply the service brake.
If ECO Assist makes adjustments for a route event
ahead and you step on the accelerator pedal, ECO
Assist control is terminated. This does not apply in the case of a vehicle in front.
The ECO Assist display is hidden again in the fol- lowing cases:
= You do not react to the ECO Assist recommen-
dation for a long time.
= You press the accelerator pedal while ECO
Assist is intervening for a route event ahead.
This does not apply in the case of a vehicle in front.
= ECO Assist cannot identify any further recom-
mendations from the route ahead.
In addition to a vehicle in front ¥, ECO Assist
can detect the following route events 2 depend-
ing on the vehicle\bs equipment:cTra"Pc circle¡S-bend¢Sharp bend£T-intersection¤Downhill gradient¦Speed limit
System limits
If the calculated route is adhered to when route
guidance is active, ECO Assist will operate with
greater accuracy. The basic function is also availa- ble without active route guidance. Not all informa-
tion and tra"Pc situations can be foreseen. The
quality depends on the map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good
time.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following situations:
= If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insu"Pcient
illumination of the road, highly variable shade
conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
= If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming tra"Pc,
direct sunlight or re"Oections.
= If the windshield is dirty in the vicinity of the
multifunction camera.
= If the multifunction camera is fogged up, dam-
aged or obscured.
= If road signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to
dirt, snow or insu"Pcient lighting, or because
they are obscured.
= If the information in the navigation system\bs
digital map is incorrect or out of date.
= If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road-
works or in adjacent lanes.
= If the radar sensors are dirty or obscured.
= When you drive on roads with steep uphill or
downhill gradients.
= If there are narrow vehicles in front, such as
bicycles or motorcycles.

Function of the route-based operating-mode strat-
egy (plug-in hybrid)\bThe following function is country-dependent
and available only in conjunction with an inte- grated navigation system.
The route-based operating-mode strategy is active under the following conditions:
= Drive program n is selected.
= The "route based" option (  page 195) is
selected for drive program n in the
DYNAMIC SELECT menu.
= Route guidance is active.
= The state of charge of the high-voltage battery
is su"Pcient.
If the function is active, data on the further course
of the route is evaluated. This includes e.g. road type, speed limitations and altitude data.
The hybrid system then adapts the operating strategy to the further course of the route:
= Use of electrical energy and the combustion
engine is adapted.
= The state of charge of the high-voltage battery
is controlled accordingly.
= Electrical energy is reserved especially for
electric mode, e.g. urban route sections or low
emission zones.
= The vehicle automatically selects the operat-
ing mode.
Function of the haptic accelerator pedal (plug-in
hybrid)
The haptic accelerator pedal has an additional point of resistance followed by increased pedal
resistance to help you drive in all-electric mode.
Characteristics of the additional point of resist-
ance:
= Available only in drive program

= Plug-in hybrids with AIRMATIC:
- adjusts the vehicle to normal level
- from 87 mph (140 km/h): lowers the vehi-

= Comfortable and economical driving
= Balance between traction and stability
= Recommended for all road conditions
= Full development of all intelligent hybrid func-
tions
= Adjustable recuperation in overrun mode
= The selection of the appropriate drive type by
the hybrid system depends on the driving con-
ditions and the distance
= Vehicles with AIRMATIC:
- adjusts the vehicle to normal level

be brie"Oy deactivated in the  and $
drive programs, depending on the engine.\bThe ESP n
settings in the drive programs 
and $ are designed for stability. Therefore,
choose one of these drive programs espe- cially when transporting roof loads, in trailer
operation and when the vehicle is fully loaded
or fully occupied.
Plug-in hybrid: This also applies for drive pro-
grams n,

Selecting the drive programPush DYNAMIC SELECT switch 1 forwards or
backwards.
The drive program selected will appear on the
driver\bs display.\bIn the F drive program, some driving sys-
tems are restricted in their function or not
available. When selecting the F drive pro-gram, a con"Nrmation prompt therefore
appears on the central display before the
drive program is activated.
Plug-in hybrid: in the F drive program, you
can switch between hybrid and electric mode
via the multimedia system (  page 194).

persons or road users.
= get out and be struck by oncoming tra"Pc.
= operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example.
In addition, the children could also set the
vehicle in motion by, for example:
= releasing the parking brake.
= changing the gearbox position.
= starting the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle.Keep the key out of reach of children.196Driving and parking
